Very nice campground and easy check in.

@YeshayhuB5FC44 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #27

Great park, neat and clean site.

@StevenS1501716 · Camped on Jul 28, 2024 at Campsite #52

We were in the area to visit family so, we didn't really do any recreational activities.

@BeverlyB50C7B7 · Camped on Jul 26, 2024 at Campsite #24

I have sent an email with pictures of the bathroom and shower with the black mold and have not heard anything back yet.

@ToddS5367268 · Camped on Jul 12, 2024 at Campsite #40

Great sites with view of the lake along with full shade and a cool lake breeze.

@BrianH4556502 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #35

Very peaceful and relaxing. With lots of things to do outdoors: fishing, hiking, boating, swimming just to name a few.

@JohnG7676070 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #3

Very poor toilets and obvious that entire park needs updating.

@LyleL9AA59CE26 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #1

It was a very peaceful and serene. Just need to do a little upkeep to the shower house and restroom.

@DennisM8587674 · Camped on Jun 6, 2024 at Campsite #57

Nice quiet campground

@JamieC5721207 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #6

The camp sites are great the bathroom is disgusting. Showers overflow, water running out the doors, faucets don't work, dirty floors and cracked walls. We have been coming here every year for the past 30 years and the bathrooms get worse and more disgusting every year.

@NathanC2334492 · Camped on Jun 5, 2024 at Campsite #7

The showers were unacceptable. Water spigots not working properly. Drainage is huge issue, Basically you are wading in 2-3 inches of water. Both toilets and showers in need of painting and general upkeep.

@JaysonV8BC4B5C · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #12

Good place overall, but power was out at campsite and the grounds are starting to fall into disrepair.

@JonathonCD4786 · Camped on May 24, 2024 at Campsite #14

Lets just start with it was a rainy memorial weekend so it was kinda rough tent camping. There doesnt seem to be anyone actually at the gate anymore for info or checking in. Site 13 had a pretty large hole in the tent pad from erosion, apparently site maintenance isnt happening anymore either. Everything just turned to mud since there isnt much grass anywhere. Was happy to see a new Porto potty at the lane, the last one barely had a door.

@SarahM1574964 · Camped on May 20, 2024 at Campsite #39

Very private site #39. The showers were the best!

@jeffk5543088 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #22

We were in spot 22 so our pad was pretty level, there was a new bathroom with flush toilets just down from our site about 150 feet that was really clean and nice, my wife and I did use the shower house a few times and the showers were hot and were roomy but it was in bad need of repainting because the foors and wall were dingy with mold stains from years of use so it wasn't a great experience there and the shower heads needed replaced as the spray went in several directions but down, overall the park is nicely kept, it could use dumpsters in each arm as the only one was at the park entrance or over by the boat launch area!

@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Sep 1, 2023 at Campsite #15

Beautiful site for tent camping. The campsites are large and there's plenty of space between each site. It was a hot weekend during our stay, but there was plenty of shade and each site is only a short walk from the lake. The camp hosts and rangers are very friendly and helpful. I'm not aware of a supply store close by, so make sure to get all supplies one of the nearby towns or be prepared for a short trip into town (about a 10-minute drive) during your stay, if needed.

@SheilaP5557783 · Camped on Aug 25, 2023 at Campsite #2

Not the parks fault but the power went out in the whole campground everyone was leaving we were told we would get a refund from Recreation.gov and that never happened- would like to be contacted about this sense we had to pay to be able to stay at Lone Point

@Christoph63310 · Camped on Aug 20, 2023 at Campsite #2

What a fantastic campground. We very much enjoyed our stay. Next time we are traveling in the area we will plan a stop, this time longer

@JodyAA4D1CC481 · Camped on Aug 14, 2023 at Campsite #9

Weather was great and campground was quiet.

@MargaretR75440 · Camped on Aug 13, 2023 at Campsite #23

Smaller cosier campground along the lake. Very well kept up with level roads for walking.

@RebeccaT693032 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #73

Great place! Nice boat ramp, close to Sullivan, biked to the General Dacey trail from the campground, showers could be updated, theres a lot of standing water in the stalls, some of the campsites were small, didnt have any grassy or flat areas but we had a lot of fun. Thank you

@AaronA6106490 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #71

Great spot. Clean facilities. Great friendly volunteer Shirley.

@WilliamC221307 · Camped on Jul 21, 2023 at Campsite #73

No nearby camp store. The showers were so outdated that we didn't shower for the whole weekend. The boat ramp is a nightmare. Right out in the middle of the lake. If you like launching your boat in ocean sized waves you might like this ramp. The campsites were small.There is one good thing--there seemed to be some nice tent only sites. But they're still in this campground.

@MelynieW4AC924 · Camped on Jul 20, 2023 at Campsite #49

The campground is great. Spacious sites. Quiet during the day. Speed limit is too high though. Some people are not courteous and fly down the road not thinking about kids playing or bike riding, not to mention the terrible amount of dust.

@MargaretR75440 · Camped on Jul 19, 2023 at Campsite #34

Many of the sites are close together, but the campground is well run. The camp hosts are very helpful and kind. The cleaning staff does a really good job.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
